Do You Know What I am Thinking?

In my psychology class today we were discussing relationships and my professor brought up the movie, "What Women Want." What if we could hear other people's thoughts like in this movie? 

I think that it could either go two ways. It can either be a good or a bad thing. Sometimes you have that moment where you are dying to know what that person is thinking, but you know you will never find out what it is. But what if they are mad at you? What if you said something they thought was stupid? Then I definitely wouldn't want to know! 

It reminds me of the question you were asked a lot as a kid. "If you had a superpower for one day what would it be and why?"

Everyone would always answer flying or invisibility. Actually, if we are being honest here I think as a kid I answered that question with either flying or knowing other people's thoughts. Looking back I think I would pick flying. Definitely more fun. Definitely not as hurtful.
